Default Making progress

So I noticed recently that I'm getting a lot more comfortable on my bike. I took it out to some parking lots and practiced some emergency braking a couple times, and that has actually proven to help me out in a couple situations. I looked at the odometer and noticed that I put 2,500 miles on the bike I didn't think I'd been riding that much these past few months, especially with all the rain (I bought the bike in late November). I'm not 100% comfortable, but I'm definitely having the most fun I've ever had.

I'd like to thank everyone on this forum who's given me advice and pointers on how to ride, it really has helped a lot.
